Our Location - Freshwater Place

FRESHWATER PLACE A LANDMARK ADDRESS

Standing on the banks of Birrarung (the Yarra) at historic Queensbridge, Freshwater Place enjoys one of the city’s most prestigious riverfront addresses. For millennia, this land has served as a place of congregation, community and exchange at the intersection of river and sea. Today, it remains the vital centrepoint linking Southbank’s world-class arts precinct with the glamour of Crown Entertainment Complex, and the city’s lively CBD with the relaxed beachfront meccas of Port Melbourne and St Kilda.

ON AND BEYOND OUR DOORSTEP

ARTS & CULTURE

Part of Melbourne’s vibrant cultural heart, Freshwater Place is connected via the riverfront promenade to the Melbourne Arts Precinct, encompassing the iconic Federation Square, National Gallery of Victoria (NGV), Arts Centre Melbourne and upcoming NGV Contemporary. Currently undergoing a $1.7 billion transformation, the precinct features local and touring art exhibitions, internationally-acclaimed theatre, concerts, dance performances, and more.

Our local neighbourhood offers a variety of world-class sporting facilities and tranquil green spaces, such as Melbourne Cricket Ground, Rod Laver arena, Marvel Stadium, the Botanic Gardens and Birrarung Marr park.
